@kinkykatkat They're Snider Enfield Rifles. .577 Caliber. Nice and Loud.

You're correct on the Canadian Forces ranks, but as this is a historic regiment with no affiliation to the Canadian Forces, we follow the rank structure used by the British Army during the 1860's and 1870's. Hope you get the opportunity to visit our site and experience our living history program!

That's because this is a recreation of the the 1850's. No army does this anymore.

This is the Canada Day 2007 demo, a small squad of Lance Cpl's and Cpl's and a few old boy's (Colour Sgt Thwaites calling the firing patterns). All the drill is authentic to 1869, the time period we represent at the Halifax Citadel. All members of the 78th Highlanders are university students and highschool students, and are held to the standards of the British military of the time period. The 78th Highlanders were from Ross-Shire Scotland and were stationed in Halifax 1869-1871.
